Lyrics

(Greg hudik/earl clark)

There once was a time when I was dead inside
I cussed the lord for the day I was born
And prayed to the devil to die
Just when I thought the devil had won
Someone opened up the door
The king of kings
Lord of lords
I found jesus on the jailhouse floor

Chorus:
Now, he broke the chains that bound me, and now I'm free
Today I'm right where mama
Prayed I'd be
I'm down on my knees
Now I believe
What mama knew for sure
He's king of kings
Lord of lords
I found jesus on the jailhouse floor

Now, if you're in trouble friend, let me tell you what to do
I'll tell you what he's done for me
And I know what he'll do for you
It makes no difference what you've done
You've a friend in the one that I adore
The king of kings
Lord of lords
I found jesus on the jailhouse floor

Repeat chorus

He's king of kings
Lord of lords
